%%cond|ear wax build-up

Ceruminosis can block the ear canal, cause tinnitus, hearing loss, itching. It can also /aggravate/ inflammation like in early Oct 2017.

I am more likely than average to get ear wax build-up, so I need to take special precaution.

How to reduce the chance of cerunminosis?

  • avoid excessive use of ear plugs
  • avoid using cotton swabs to clean out the ear

How to keep from getting ceruminosis?

  • monthly ear drop of mineral oil
  • loosen and soften cerumen by directing warm water at the ear when showering — worked 🙂
